“We’ll go through a process of determining whether the conduct that they’re alleged to have committed did occur. If there’s enough evidence to support a finding and if the finding is substantiated then they’d be dealt with under the processes of the Police Act.”

That’s when a 17-year-old Canadian accused Simms of sexual assault.
Long is accused of being an accessory.
